How do people do this?!?!? I could easily name 10 songs and then think of another and then another and another....well anyways, as a time killer at work, here's my list in no order whatsoever!
1. Locked in the Trunk of a Car
2. Emperor Penguin
3. Are We Family
4. It's Can't be Nashville Evey Night
5. Fully Completely
6. At The Hundredth Merdian
7. Three Pistols
8. When The Weight Comes Down
9. Use It Up
10. Sharks.
Here are the songs I forgot... lol
1. Twist My Arm
2. Greay Jungle
3. Highway Girl
4. She Didn't Know
5. All Other Hip songs not mentioned in the above 2 lists.....
You look at these lists and you see that everyone's is different and songs you'd never think you'd see come up on other people's lists, just as they probably think your songs are odd choices as well. I love that there is this huge diversity in lists, the only thing that would make all of this better was if the boys played more of these live.
Stickboy (aka Jesse)
Here we go....
Another Midnight (still)
Escape is at hand...
The Dire Wolf
She didn't know
Fiddler's Green
Vapour Trails
Get back again
When the weight comes down
Springtime in Vienna
Nautical disaster
Ahead by a century
Highway girl (live)
My top 10 became a top 12.....oh well....
... because there are about 30 songs I could put on the list, and deciding on an order was just kinda arbitrary. But:
1. Locked in the Trunk
2. Nautical Disaster
3. Get Back Again
4. So Hard Done By
5. The Dark Canuck
6. Tiger the Lion
7. Emperor Penguin
8. Gus
9. Gift Shop
10. You're Everywhere
I was surprised I didn't have anything from UTH or RA on my Top 10, but there are a bunch (Twist, Fight, Trickle, Boots) that missed by that much.
I'll agree...ridiculously difficult...here's my list now..but it coule be different in 15 minutes when I realized I've forgotten 3 gems...in no particular order.
1. Nautical Disaster
2. The Dire Wolf
3. Makeshift as We Are

It amazes me how many people chose Nautical Disaster as they're #1 or #2 pick. It topped my list...so I guess it just goes to show what a truly excellent tune it really is, especially when you factor in all of the fun little quips Gord throws in during the live versions over the years.

7. Emperor Penguin

You know what amazes me the most about this song? It has no chorus at all, and almost none of the lyrics rhyme! In my opinion, The lyrics are awesome, but it was Bobby's guitar that put it over the top and made this song so famous.
